Sarah Ruh's LATE: A COWBOY SONG Begins 1/8 at Custom Made Theatre

Sarah Ruhl's Late: A Cowboy Song is for all the cowboys, of heart and mind, who ride outside the city limits of convention.

Mary, always late and always married, meets a lady cowboy (she's a cowboy, not a cowgirl!) outside the city limits of Pittsburgh who teaches her how to ride a horse. Mary's husband, Crick, buys a painting with the last of their savings. Mary and Crick have a baby, but they can't decide on the baby's name, or the baby's gender.

Sarah Ruhl's poetic, subtle and fantastical portrait of three souls in collision proves once again she is the poet laureate of the new American theatre.

Custom Made continues its relationship with Ms. Ruhl, following the award-winning production of Eurydice, which played to sold-out house and won multiple Bay Area Critic Circle awards. Late is directed by Custom Made Assistant Artistic Director, Ariel Craft. Late: A Cowboy Song plays January 8-February 1 at the Gough Street Playhouse, 1620 Gough Street in San Francisco.
